Pumps' Perplexities

I guess the events that happened at the Tallmansville
West Virginia coal mine today prove my point of
yesterday's blog.....The demand for news, 24 hours a day,
leaves no time for a "second or third story confirmation".....

With the "news feed" hitting the "news wires" right in the
middle of the day's newspaper printing left a lot of local
newspaper editors holding the bag as a result of an
incorrect headline......But if it sold newspapers, the only
thing you will see is a small "correction" somewhere in
the pages of later issues or their web sites......

With the need for"news", people lost sight of the fact that
a "correction" was due to 12 families.....And it should not
have taken 3 hours to accomplish.....Pumps
